Would that I had their courage

April 18

One day I’ll end up using this in a paper for school. I can just see it. Actually I can’t wait for the opportunity.

“The women who went to the field, you say…
A few names were writ, and by chance live to-day;
But’s a perishing record fast fading away,
Of those we recall, there are scarcely a score…
And what would they do if war came again?…
They would stand with you now, as they stood with you then,
The nurses, consolers, and saviors of men.”

~ Clara Barton

    • "Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable." — C.S. Lewis
